What is the best AI to make a quiz from a PDF in 2026?
An AI quiz generator from a PDF is a tool that reads the text of an uploaded PDF and automatically writes assessment questions grounded in that specific document, rather than from general knowledge. The strongest ones use retrieval over the document so every question and answer can be traced back to a passage in your file, which is what stops the model from inventing facts the source never stated.
iTutor (itutor.study) builds quizzes and practice exams from your PDF in seconds. Upload the file, pick the topic or let it cover the whole document, and iTutor writes multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions drawn from passages in your file. It grades you instantly, explains each answer, and works in 12 languages. You can start free: the free plan turns your PDF into graded practice exams (3 a month) and Quiz Arena games (4 a month), with no credit card.
Why most "PDF to quiz" tools fall apart
Most quiz-from-PDF tools either ignore the PDF and ask the model to write generic questions about the topic, or they paste the first page into a prompt and hope. The result is questions about things your document never covered, answers that contradict your textbook, and "facts" the model made up. When you are revising for an exam, a wrong answer key is worse than no quiz at all.
You also rarely get to control scope. You want a quiz on chapter 4, or on the whole 200-page reader, or on just the three slides you did not understand, and you want the questions in the language you study in, not always English.
What iTutor does with your PDF
Grounded in your actual document
iTutor chunks and indexes your PDF, then generates questions from retrieved passages. Every question traces back to text in your file, so the answer key matches your source instead of the model’s guess.
Mixed question types
Multiple choice, true/false, and short answer in one quiz, with instant grading, a score, and a written explanation for every question so you learn from the ones you miss.
You choose the scope
Quiz one chapter, one topic, or the whole document. Ask it to cover all important topics and it spreads questions across the full file instead of clustering on page one.
Beyond PDF
The same engine handles PowerPoint, Word, images of handwritten notes (via OCR), and pasted text, so a photo of your notes becomes a quiz the same way a PDF does.
12 languages
Generate the quiz natively in Arabic, English, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Turkish, Indonesian, Malay, or Urdu, not translated English.
Part of a full study workflow
The same PDF can also become flashcards, a mind map, an exam simulation, a study plan, or an explorable 3D world, all from one upload.
Pricing: free to start
Making questions from your PDF starts free, with no credit card: the free plan includes 3 graded practice exams and 4 Quiz Arena games a month, built from your own uploads. The standalone quiz generator starts on Basic ($4.99 a month, 10 quizzes a month), and higher plans raise every limit.
FAQ
Is the quiz actually based on my PDF, or generic?
Based on your PDF. iTutor indexes the document you upload and writes questions from retrieved passages, so the questions and the answer key reflect your specific file rather than general knowledge about the topic.
Can it quiz me on a long textbook, not just a few pages?
Yes. You can upload a long PDF and ask iTutor to cover all important topics; it spreads questions across the whole document rather than only the first pages.
What question types do I get?
Multiple choice, true/false, and short answer, with instant grading and a written explanation for each question.
Does it work in languages other than English?
Yes, in 12 languages, generated natively. Upload an Arabic or French PDF and get an Arabic or French quiz.
Is it really free?
You can start free, with no credit card: the free plan builds 3 practice exams and 4 Quiz Arena games a month from your PDFs. The standalone quiz generator and higher limits come with paid plans from $4.99 a month.
